I'm not completely against it. My *slight* hesitation in doing it would
be that from my experience these knobs aren't a one-size-fits-all thing
for people trying to debug stuff in production. So you sorta need to
know a bit more about what you're doing when fiddling with them.
Turning them all on is probably OK for a workstation user but less
likely to be OK for a server admin. Some may want/need to add in
KDB_UNATTENDED depending on their circumstances, etc.
